Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: Aeration is a generally accepted practice for maintaining the condition of stored grain. Properly applied, aeration may be accomplished with upward or downward airflow, with a wide range of airflow rates, and with many different seasonal and daily operating schedules. However, each method of operating aeration systems has some advantages and some limitations which should be recognized. Various methods of operating aeration systems were observed under test conditions in the Corn Belt. Wheat in deep bins, shelled corn in both deep bins and flat storages, and soybeans in "oil-tank" type of storages were included in the tests. Observations were made of the changes in grain temperatures and moisture, mold development and insect activity, and volume and distribution of air.
